Once upon a time, in a very, very distant country called China, there was a blue bird named WeChat.
In the beginning, WeChat could only send messages and make calls, just like other birds out there. But one day, it had a brilliant idea:
— What if I could help people pay for ice cream, order a car, buy toys, and even go to the doctor… all without leaving my nest?
And thus the SuperApp was born! A magical app that had everything inside it: conversations, money, store, taxi, games, and much more. It was like an enchanted castle inside the phone.
People started using WeChat for everything! Even grandparents bought bread with a simple “beep” on the phone. Banks and money companies were scared:
— Oh no! — said the bankers — If everyone uses the WeChat bird, no one will want to come to our castle of coins!
And it was true. Many banks and new money companies, called fintechs, had to reinvent themselves or work alongside the magical bird. Because it just wouldn’t stop growing!
Today, WeChat has been flying high like this for over 10 years, helping millions of people live in an easier and more practical way.
And who knows, one day, the WeChat bird will have cousins in every country…
Would you use a magical app like this? ✨📱🐦
